Thanks to all of you, your great!!

I would like to thank all *****plied to my message about my daughter, I just get so sick and tired of all the nasty comments from people, I guess I am a bit overly protective of my daughter, she is so very easily upset and will just hide within herself, it has taken me her entire life to get her to come out of her shell so to speak and then she has to listen to people like that and even if you don't respond to them, you still heard it and it still hurts. She has not yet had a consultation. I wish we could do it together but she wants to wait and see how I do, if it ever gets approved. Anyway, thank you everyone. Oh, DeeAnne, I am sure she felt back watching me get kicked out of wal-mart but I guess I just wasn't thinking about that at the time. She told me she loved me sticking up for her and that it was ok, but, I really feel bad about it, sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my brain and I just can't think straight. That ole' red eye monster takes over. Again, thanks everone, you continue to help me all the time.

Tina, I hope I didn't make hard feelings!!! I just could relate with my mom and me. I guess I should express those thoughts to her instead of a stranger. There are so many things you read about concerning others some hit home more than others. *****DeAnne

I didn't get a chance to post earlier, but I wanted to say that YES, this has happened to me. Now that I have lost so much weight, I see so much of what people were doing to me. People talk to me like I am smarter, people are nicer, it is amazing how badly overweight people are treated and I did not even notice some of it! I also see other people mistreating overweight people more than ever and it makes me so MAD! I am a very outspoken person (no one would have ever guessed that, right??) and I call them on it. I caught my husband doing it to a co-worker,... a guy, so he didn't think twice about saying something about food portions... I slugged my husband and asked him if he would like it if people talked to his wife that way. He felt so bad, and I am glad! Sometimes peeople do not even think, and I know my husband is a great guy, not malicious like the people you ran into. I don't care much for Wal-Mart anyways, once they asked me to breastfeed my baby in the bathroom because I was upsetting customers. I freaked out and told them that everyone in their cafeteria has to go into the bathroom and eat their meals first, then I will feel my daughter her meal there! THEN I posted on my breastfeeding board and we all had feed-ins at Wal-Mart! God, I wasn't baring it or anything! Anyway, Give your daughter a hug for me and tell her that weight can be lost, ugliness and bad manners seldom are. She is a beautiful person. ~Julie
